DISQUS

Blogging or more general, running a website is much more difficult that people think. If you can successfully market you site, big rewards can be had. Good luck on the book.

America definitely needs to start moving in the direction of electric cars because they can run off of any fuel source. What irritates me with our politicians is that they preach how they are eco friendly and want to save the environment, yet they take jets all over the country and drive around in gas guzzlers.

It was pretty stupid on Phelp's part to go to a party where he could possible get photographed using a bong. It doesn't make sense. He is still young and will do some stupid things and I agree with others that the whole think is taken too serious. He is already regretting his decision after he will probably lose tons of money, no need for the media to jump on him too.

These seem like a great idea, but only for windy areas. For areas with no wind, the cost to buy one of these and maintain it may not be worth it. Even still, it's great to see that solar energy is not the only thing that is growing for residents to make a difference on their own.

I have been waiting for this car to come out and it's finally going to be released. Even though they are only going to be available in California, I hope they spread throughout the country and put more pressure on big-time manufacturers to make more eco-friendly cars.

I have heard about RecycleBank before. This is a great idea and gives people a monetary incentive to recycle. Hopefully their plan works and gets more people to recycle.

Ikea has done some great things to lessen its company's impact on the environment. The only problem I have is that if they are going to use cardboard product instead of wood, their products are not going to last as long and probably end up landfilles in a few years. Just because it can be recycled doesn't mean it is better for our environment. I would prefer real wood that comes from sustainable forests and is going to last for years to come.

This could be a nice feature, but the biggest problem is SEO as some suggested. It will be hard to make it in top search results for smaller sites just because they are not considered preferred.

That is a pretty funny device. It is a great idea though with such a small item like a flash drive just because they are so easy to lose.

Great idea. These ideas are eco friendly and seem like they are just as effective. Thanks for the great link.

Wooden toys are the way to go. Not only are they eco-friendly, but are safe for our kids. When I have kids, I am buying only wood toys.

Great idea to save on paper and still be used to write things down. Normally when people write things down, they are only temporary anyways.

I'm with you Quilmes. I just don't get why the music industry is enforcing their copyrights so hard. It's as if they aren't making tons of money already, but they have to make sure that we pay for music before being able to listen to it.

I just don't get the understanding of doing studies like this. The bad part about the study they conducted is that they focus on the internet and not about parents actually parenting their kids better so they don't misbehave and perform risky activities.

What I don't like is when they get your information and use it to bug you or in wrongful ways. Public information like you picture and name are not private and if you go into a store, I do not believe that a company should have to get rid of all images of people in their store. Seems kind of ridiculous and too hard to do.

That's funny that they don't even mention Google. This seems like a great idea in that it lets those divisions focus on what they do best and not get caught up in the rest of AOL's parts.

Hopefully she can make Yahoo more competitive that it has been. It seems like it could be just another CEO that will not bring many new ideas, but we will find out what will happen.

I agree with you Joe. I have seen many sponsored search results that are nowhere near the top of the regular results returned, yet they are displayed at the top of the screen. This isn't really anything new, but it does disturb me that you can buy your way to the top of search results.

This seems like a great idea. I wouldn't mind something like this especially for shows like lost that I watch all the time during the evening while I am trying to do work on my computer. It would either make me more productive or just have me watching the entire show on my laptop.

This is why I don't put anything on facebook or youtube. People put way too much information out of the web for people to see.

This is a staggering statistic, but expected with the amount of servers needed to run Google. The only way to really alleviate this is to begin using renewable energy sources like wind or solar to make using the internet or the computer carbon neutral.

I agree with some of the others. Google doesn't necessarily have the best results, but it is a buzz word at this point. Whenever you want to find something on the internet, you don't search for it, you Google it. It will be hard for people to switch at this point.

I read about this. It sucks that they lost their wind turbine and are not sure the cause. I hope Aliens are not trying to ruin our wind turbines :)

I still don't get Google's incentive with this browser. If they are still funding Mozilla, then why do they continue to make their browser. It will be interesting to see the competition between Chrome and Firefox as Chrome gets further developed.

This is a great idea. Many people don't know what to do with their old tvs or even broken ones and often just throw them in the dump. This actually allows them to be reused and properly disposed of.
